Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Terres Blanches Patrice Rion (Domaine) 2007

Domaine de Michèle and Patrice Rion extend over 6 hectares in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny. The domaine is not certified but applies the precepts of organic farming (ploughing with a pickaxe, organic products). The wines are stored from 15 to 18 months in barrels (50% new for premier and grand crus). They reflect well their terroir and are clear, precise, complex and fruity. On the palate, the wines are silky and harmonious, with round tannins.

Domaine Rion's "Les Terres Blanches" premier cru is a clear white wine with a pale gold colour, and a floral, ethereal nose. The wine has notes of ripe citrus, but retains a remarkable freshness and minerality. Over the years, hints of white peach and elderflower appear.
